- I trusted the previous reviews on this site and took a leap of faith going to see Maura at Salon Fiber. I liked her a lot better than my last stylist personality-wise. However, the difference between 3b curls and 4a curls obviously is too vast. I knew from the second she started washing my hair with sudsy shampoo (ACK!) that this was a bad decision on my part, but, having very few salon experiences, I didn't know what to say or do. Then, back at the chair, she started combing my hair. Again - ACK!!!!!! I have not used a comb on my hair since I was in middle school and didn't know what I was doing! To make a long story short, I left with a much shorter haircut than I had hoped for and frizziness like I haven't seen on my head since, again, middle school when I didn't know what I was doing. Sadly I will have to return to the expensive, snobby salon I went to last time, where they actually knew what to do with my hair.
As far as atmosphere, prices, and friendliness of staff, though, I have no complaints whatsoever.

- I still go to this salon and Maura still does a fantastic job. But, I just want to warn you all that their prices have sky rocketed since I first started going there. With cut , color, and tip I am spending about $140 every time I go. So, just be aware of that.

- Review:
- I love Salon Fiber! I had my hair cut there over a month ago, and it still looks like I just stepped out of the salon. I used to get my hair cut at the same salon my straight-haired sister goes to. This was only my second "real" curly haircut. So I'm used to walking out the door and pulling my hair in a ponytail until I shower and style it myself. When I called I told the receptionist that I had curly hair and to assign a stylist experienced with that. I saw Amanda, told her it was my first time and that I've been experimenting with salons. She did a great cut, exactly what I asked for, wasn't afraid to be dramatic with my cut (I love my hair to have alot of body on top and I came equipped with many pictures). She dried it a little too much and I pulled it in a ponytail until I had the chance to style it myself.
That night I received a call from the owner of the salon. She said she wasn't happy with my blow dry and would like me to come back at my convenience for a complimentary blow dry and a few tips by Maura, their curl expert. So I did and I am so happy. Her husband, who also works there, said he and his wife were worried when I left and wanted to make sure I was happy (must have been worried about my 'experimenting with salons' comment).
Maura did a geat job styling and that night at the grocery store I was stopped by an older man to tell me how gorgeous I am..Maura really did a great job! (It did occur to me that he was paid by the salon, but the grocery store was 45 minutes from Phoenixville). I will definitely be a frequent client of Salon Fiber.

- I just got back from my first appointment at Salon Fiber and it was an amazing experience!!! I have 3B-C curly and thick hair. I have a very difficult time getting a good haircut. Maura did an AMAZING job.
She washed my hair, then dried naturally (under lights and a diffuser) to see the curl pattern. Then she cut it dry. I should say she carved it. She was able to keep my length while reducing bulk without thinning it. She performed a small miracle for me!!! Maura also informed me that the female owner of the salon also uses this technique.
Obviously, I highly recommend this salon!! The prices are right as well!
